We can all relate to you on here with the pain. When you talk about your pain it brings back memories of me crying and being suicidal and calling my Dr.at 11:30 or 12 at night. No lie. Screaming in pain. He would always say get in the tub, soak in hot water and epson salt, lay on a heating pad and come in tomorrow morning to see me. Poor guy went through 5 years of this. Thank God like Tayla said about her team. I have a Dr. that never gives up and others that try their best for me. I wish we all had that.

I called him Monday evening crying with the pelvic pain. He told me to call the girls and get me in today. He is semi-retired now so only in on M-W-F but he always makes time for me. Like you I am going nuts from my pelvic pain. I see a surgeon next Friday for exploratory surgery.

Back to you though. I agree with Tayla. Try someone else for the blocks. An Anesteologist does good with them I believe that's because they are use to doing the anestesias in the operating room and know exactly how much to use. Again, it might not work for you but at least you can try.

RSD Angel comes to mind with the SCS's in her. I think she has 2 that are off at this time. I know of 4 people around here that had them in and all are out or off now.

My thought would be the pain pump. I don't know enough about it either as far as how much help it would be but that would be my choice over the SCS's anytime.

That is interesting, a Dr. doing them right in his office. I don't think I'd want him to put one in me in his office. That's a major surgery.

I know that the SCS has to be your decision and again I would do a lot of praying about it and researching it. Desperation will make us do a lot of things but I know you are very smart and you will make the best decision for you.

I wish I could help you more with the pain but I know no matter what I did at home I couldn't get my pain to calm down on my own even with meds. My Methadone isn't calming down my pelvic pain anymore.

I do hope this calms down for you soon. I wanted to say also that I hope your better half is doing better. I know how rough all of this is on you.
